Infecção por Enterobius vermicularis em população pré-colombianas no Chile

Abstract: O encontro de parasitos em corpos mumificados ou em coprólitos coletados em sítios arqueológicos contribuem para o estudo da origem, evolução e introdução de doenças parasitárias em populações do passado, bem como fornece dados sobre essas populações, comportamento quanto à habitação, deslocamentos migratórios, hábitos alimentares e tamanho de população.Em coprólitos coletados por um de nós (L.N.), no sítio arqueológico de Caserones, no vale de Tarapaca, norte do Chile, encontraram-se ovos de Enterobius vermic… Show more

“…This suggests that as maize became less abundant as a key food source, the people turned to fishing as an alternative dietary resource. This case exemplifies how different subsistence strategies can be associated with distinctive parasitological profiles as suggested by previous researchers (Ferreira et al, 1989(Ferreira et al, , 1985.…”

“…Thus, the evolution of pinworm transmission was intimately related to human behavior and characteristics during a period in which human populations were sparse and small. Changes in human ecology, like the adoption of collective dwellings, enhanced the parasite's transmission by concentrating more hosts in confined spaces (Reinhard, Ambler & McGuffie, 1985;Ferreira et al, 1989). E. vermicularis is one example among many, like other nematodes that live their cycle in the soil, called geohelminths, which took their evolutionary paths by following the human host ever since the species emerged on the African continent.…”

“…South American archaeological material has yielded few eggs from this parasite. All of them thus far have been from organic remains of human groups that lived on the Pacific Coast (Patrucco, Tello & Bonavia, 1983;Ferreira et al, 1985;Araújo et al, 1985), with one rare, undated finding in Neuquén, northern Patagonia, Argentina (Zimmerman & Morilla, 1983). Adult Enterobius vermicularis worms live in the human host's large intestine.…”
